This was really good! I enjoyed being able to use fresh basil and parsley from my garden too! I never thought to use basil on corn, but it really has a great, complementary flavor! It was a hit with the whole family!

This is our new favorite way to make corn on the cob! The corn has a different flavor then when boiled, plus it doesn't leave a pool of water on your plate from absorbed liquid. Another great thing is in the summer, the heat stays outside. made for Bargain Basement tag 2009.
